Beautiful Home Facing Bolinas Lagoon on 15 Acres Over the last two years we have been delighted to serve families especially with our large space 15 acres, access to nature trails in the woods, and animals including horses, dogs, chickens, ducks and bunnies. We live on the property up on a hill and we rent a four bedroom family farmhouse overlooking Bolinas Lagoon. To describe the experience of being here our guests say it best. "Our trip was close to perfection," Louisa. "My family and I had an epic trip," Mukund. "The hosts went the extra mile," Rosha. "We were celebrating my parents 50th and had a wonderful stay at this magical house," Adrian. "We were two families with kids from 2-12 and there was something for everyone," Rebecca. " It was both energizing and relaxing to be in such nature beauty," Lori "The property itself was like having your own estate," Mike. And finally a review that made us truly proud, "You will discover kindness and a quiet retreat at this magical place. Get ready to unwind," Gabriella. Our property is almost completely private and we love to teach the children of our guests how to feed the animals if they so desire. The property includes a cottage in the woods, pastures with horses, a chicken coop with chickens and bunnies and ducks. There is ample room to explore right on the grounds. The home is well used, comfortable and ideal for families with children. There are two bedrooms with Queen beds and a back bedroom with bunk beds, a single twin bed and a crib. There is a fourth small bedroom downstairs with a full bed. There are two bathrooms--one with shower and bath connected to the master bedroom, the other between the two upstairs bedrooms with just a shower. All first floor rooms connect to the outside. One of our most favorite reviews begins with, "This property reflects an appreciation of childhood." Indeed we create magic with the open spaces, swings, an exquisite playhouse in the woods, and animals . No cats but we are mostly okay with dogs but like to talk specifically with future guests as there are certain rules and expectations to follow to make a visit successful for your dog. Due to the special nature and privacy of the property and surrounding hills the place has also been used for retreats, and other special occasions. We no longer do weddings but we love special extended family events birthdays, anniversaries, reunions and other special moments. At the same time we are concerned about water usage and hope our guests understand this reality. As with all decisions this is a discussion. The special cottage in the woods is where children can play creatively and independently---inspired by the concept in the book The Last Child in the Woods, that documents the universal need for intimate connection to nature and for independent fantasy play for children. The cottage is surrounded by trails leading to an open meadow of five acres. There is also a suspension bridge! Young children can access the coop to collect eggs with parental supervision. Many children including our grandchildren spend hours in the chicken coop. We also show guests how to safely feed carrots to the horses. There are views of surrounding hills and the Bolinas Lagoon and access to nearby trails in open space and parkland. One mile from the town of Bolinas which has two miles of beachfront and locally caught fish in season, abundant organic produce and organic meats. The property is also just three miles from the Audubon Canyon Ranch where one can watch seals and all kinds of bird life on Bolinas Lagoon; and 10 miles from Point Reyes Park HQ with its extensive trails, beaches and wildlife.
